Orbitur Camping Valverde

Alan Rogers Review

Close to the village of Praia da Luz and its beach, this large, well-run site is certainly worth considering for your stay in the Algarve. It has pitches of varying sizes, either enclosed by hedges or on open, gently sloping ground. It is large, with around 700 numbered pitches, a spacious area and ample shade from established trees and shrubs. There are also 6/10A electricity connections throughout. The upper terraces are occupied by chalets and mobile homes which are available for rental. A visit to Lagos is definitely recommended - a historic city which was the centre of trade between Africa and Portugal. Wander the marina and perhaps head to neighbouring Sagres and the western extremity of the Algarve to see the lighthouse at Cabo de São Vicente - Portugal’s Land’s End.

Head east along the motorway or the coast road past Lagos and you can drop down to numerous beaches, lttle villages or small resorts, visit the busy town of Portimão, the port of Albufeira or the bustling resort of Faro. The Atlantic coast offers a different range of beaches and scenery, or for a complete change you could drive up into the mountains of the Serra do Espinhaço de Cão or even the more impressive Serra de Monchique. Like so many other sites along this coast, Camping Valverde attracts a good number of long-term winter visitors, with prices reduced by half or more.
